Abstract
On April 15th, 1947, the Dodgers started their new season with a new addition to their team, Jackie Robinson. He made his debut against the Boston Braves at Ebbets Field playing first base. The first series were a flop for Jackie Robinson. Overwhelmed by the pressure, he was unable to produce. Teammates, opponents, and fans racially harassed Robinson on a daily basis. As the next couple of weeks progressed, more problems arose. Although the incidents were unfortunate, they did have a positive spin. Throughout the ordeals, baseball proved its support of Robinson and Robinson proved he was the right man for the experiment (Tygiel 180-182).
